Today marks the beginning of another evaluation period, meaning coaches are now allowed in at the Peach Jam. As expected, John Calipari and the Kentucky staff are front and center to watch their top targets, specifically Jalen Duren.

Jack Pilgrim is on the scene and captured these photos of Calipari and Orlando Antigua getting ready for this morning’s game between Team Final, featuring Duren and Derek Lively II, and Seattle Rotary. Duren’s other suitors, Memphis’ Penny Hardaway and Miami’s Jim Larrañaga, are also there with their staffs.

Duren is expected to reclassify to the 2021 class and is down to Kentucky, Memphis, Miami, the G League, and the Australian NBL. A decision is expected after the Peach Jam. ICYMI yesterday, Drew Franklin is hearing Kentucky’s NIL presentation impressed the Duren camp and is keeping the Cats in the fight.
